About an incident

Can I say,

Leter is a 17-year-old boy. One day, he was cycling home from school. After having lunch, he went to the stadium for the football practice.

On his way, he saw an old lady trying to cross the busy road. Then he parked his bicycle at the roadside.

He quickly ran towards her. He helped the old woman cross the busy road. She thanked for his kindness.
